Frances Fisher hit with breach of contract lawsuit from former managers

Actress FRANCES FISHER has been hit with a breach of oral contract lawsuit from her former managers.

Published 7th October 2014

Bosses at Sanders Armstrong Caserta Management claim the Titanic star owes them a "minimum" payment of £38,025 for her work on TV series Resurrection, according to Deadline.com.

They are also looking for "general damages in an amount to be proven at trial" and "a judicial declaration that SAC Management is entitled to a 10 per cent commission" on all of Fisher's earnings in the future "pursuant to the Resurrection Agreement".

Executives at the company allege Fisher did not fully compensate them for their services after ending her three-year relationship with them.

The lawsuit reads, "Immediately after SAC Management received the Fisher Parties' written notice of termination of the Management Agreement, (Fisher's former manager Tammy) Rosen sent an email message to Fisher and a separate email message to Michael Greene (Fisher's talent agent) and Jeff Bernstein (Fisher's attorney), each of which confirmed that SAC Management would be entitled to commissions on the Fisher Parties' income from Resurrection.

"After further discussion, Fisher expressly confirmed that she agreed to pay such commissions. As a result, on June 5, 2013, Nancy Sanders and Mark Armstrong of SAC Management wrote a confirming letter to Fisher, Bernstein and Greene, which states: Thank you for getting back to us yesterday regarding commissions. As agreed upon, 10% will (be) paid on the original series contract for Resurrection on a per episode basis. We've all been doing this a long time and we appreciate that this was dealt with respectfully and in acknowledgement of Tammy's hard work. Frances, best of luck on the series. We hope it's a great experience for you."
